PATENT FFIG.

JEEoME KIDDER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

IMPROVEMENT IN VESICULAR ELECTRODES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 164,184, dated June 8,1875; application file March 29, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JEROME KIDDEE, of the city, county, and State of NewYork, have invented a new and Improved Double Vesicular Electrode, ofwhich the following is a specification:

In the accompanying drawiu g. Figure 1 represents a side view of myimproved vesicle electrode; Fig. 2, a detail vertical section on' Theinvention consists of a vesicular electrode, with solid non-conductinghead into which the ends of the battery-connecti n g wires are embeddedin such a manner as to be readily brought in contact at the side andend.

In the drawing, A represents a vesicular electrode, which is connectedby the usual clamp-screws with the battery-wires. The wires of theelectrode are insulated from each other, and carried by the usual rubberor other non-conducting tubing. A rounded-off head, B, of hard rubber orsimilar material supports the wire ends or metallic strips of thevesicular electrode, which are applied thereto and embedded flush withthe surface, preferably by being wound spirally around the same andterminated without coming in contact with each other at the outer end ofthe head, as shown in Fig. 3. M

The vesicular electrode is introduced in the customary manner, thecontact with the wires being formed readily at the side and end of head,admitting the application of electricity by a more convenient, safe,durable, and more easily-manipulated device than with the vesicularelectrodes hitherto in use.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- V A double vesicular electrode provided with aninsulating head in which the metallic conductors are embedded flush withthe surface, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
